Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to improve the accuracy of data collection on modern slavery cases.

The Government is continually looking to improve the quality and provision of modern slavery statistics.

We have recently improved and simplified the First Responders form used to refer people to the NRM, following extensive feedback from over 450 stakeholders. These changes will have a direct and positive impact on the accuracy of data collection, as well as improve the quality of referrals.
